reminiscing…

I love you

Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren’t complete
If you weren’t by my side
You’re my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There’s no darkness I can’t overcome
You are my raindrop
I am the sea
With you and God, who’s my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I’m so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and messed up world

I am in love with you
You set me free
I can’t do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I’m Dangerously In Love with you
I’ll never leave
Just keep lovin’ me
The way I love you loving me

And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain’t easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I’m grateful
To have you by my side

Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world
To love and to hold
To feel
To breathe
To love you

Dangerously in love
Can’t do this thing
I love you , I love you, I love you
I’ll never leave
Just keep on loving me
I’m in love with you
I can not do
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously
I love you
Dangerously in love

my torture song

All my bags are packed
Im ready to go
Im standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin
Its early morn
The taxis waitin
He’s blowin his horn
Already I’m so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Evry place I go, Ill think of you
Evry song I sing, Ill sing for you
When I come back, Ill bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But, Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

The Prayer

Artist: Charlotte Church

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

I pray we’ll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

The light that you give us

Will stay in our hearts

Reminding us

That in my prayer
You are an everlasting star

There’s so much faith

We dream of a world with no more violence
A world of justice and hope
Grasp your neighbors hand
As a symbol of peace and brotherhood.

The strength that you give us

Is the wish

That everyone may find love

In and around himself

And the faith that
You’ve lit inside us
I feel will save us

updates, updates

after so long, ngayon na lang ulit nakapag blog.  sobrang hectic ng sched namin sa review na may mga times na 2 weeks straight eh wala kaming off.  may mga days pa na inaabot kami ng lagpas 9pm para lang mahabol ang lahat ng dapat ma-tackle.

 

di man ako nakakadalaw sa sarili kong blog.  salamat pa rin sa mga patuloy na bumibisita at nag-iiwan ng comment.  pag nakahanap naman ako ng time, siguradong mag-uupdate ako.  at sa mga nagcomment, pasensya na kung hindi ko agad masagot ha.  sana hindi kayo magsawang magcomment 

 

pagdating sa lovelife, wala pa akong dapat iupdate.  masyado pang “masalimuot” hehe.  pero nakakataba ng puso na kahit papaano ay may mga tao pa ring nagtatangka.  malamang malabo lang talaga ang mga mata nila o di kaya may mga psychosis hehe.

 

with regards to my review experience, okay naman.  maraming mga inputs ang magagamit ko pag dating ng araw.  sa mga classmates ko naman sa review, mababait naman sila.  wala namang nangangagat.  marami rin akong new found friends.  mga ka-batch ko sa school kaso ngayon ko lang din nakasama at mas nakilala.  minsan, mukha na nga akong muse lalo na pag ako lang ang nakaksama nilang girl pag uwian na.  pero take note, kahit mukha silang mga cool boys, grabe naman sa sipag mag-aral.  daig pa ako!

 

nung isang araw, nagpasya kaming bumisita sa sto. domingo church.  nandun kasi ang lady of manaoag.  syempre nag offer ako ng prayer.  di na ako humiling ng kung ano pa.  basta sinabi ko na lang sa kanya na kung ano ang plano nya para sa akin, i will accept it.

 

supposed to be, pupunta kami ng baclaran today after our exam.  kaso yung mga boys na kasama ko eh may exam pa pala na hindi nila na take before.  kaya eto, uwi na lang muna ako para makapag pahinga kse di ko kaya maghintay sa kanila for their 200 item exam.  next time na lang siguro namin planuhin ang pagtirik ng kandila sa baclaran.

 

sa mga panahon ngayon, i would need all the help i could get.  lalo na spiritually.  hindi lang dahil sa papalapit na board exam.  pati na rin for my emotional, psychological and financial stability.

 

ewan ko nga ba.  religious naman ako dati lalo na at galing ako sa pagpapalaki ng mga madre at pari na dominican at thomasian.  pero simula ng pumasok ako sa up, medyo nabawasan na.

 

nagdarasal pa rin naman ako ngayon, pero more of personal dialogue with Him ang ginagawa ko.  alam ko it’s not enough. 

 

hay naku.  my time is almost up.  halo-halo na ang laman ng entry na to.  halata bang gutom na? di pa ako nag-lunch and it’s past 2pm na.  will just grab a quick bite, then shower, then hit the books again.

 

life!!!

 

 

 

 

when it’s over and done…

yup it’s done…

 

i’m not really over what happened…

 

but i will try to move on…

 

wish me luck…

something boring gets exciting

medical-surgical nursing, communicable diseases and pharmacology are some of the most serious subjects that we have to review.  they’re really, really difficult (well, based on my experience).

 

however, they’re really interesting and very challenging.  lalo na if the lecturer is one cool and cute doctor hehe.  a bojo molina look-alike, he’s really good.  nakaka-inspire tuloy mag-aral.  nakakahiya kasi if he poses a question tapos di ko masagot.  i almost didn’t believe it when he called me by my nickname.  sa dami namin eh kilala pala nya ako kung ganyan lahat ng prof,  baka magmed school pa ako nyan (asa pa!).  kaso taken na eh.  kaya hanggang tingin na lang kami

 

well, at least now, i somehow look forward to these challenging subjects.  di katulad dati na parang ang sarap tulugan.  lalo na ngayon na even sundays we have a review.  pati nga sa labor day eh may review pa din.  pero ok lang ganun talaga.  sakripisyo to the max!

 

yeah, something boring can really get exciting given a very inspiring mentor. sa panahon ngayon, every little reason to be inspired to study is greatly appreciated.

me in a promo material???

the other day, i was approached by the administrative officer of the review center. i thought it was something to do with my performance during the review.

i was surprised when she asked me if it’s okay for my picture to be included in our tarpaulin ad to put outside their building and the corner along espana. my reaction was, “mam, baka wala na mag-enroll sa review center nyo pag mukha ko makikita nila dyan. at saka di pa nga ako pumapasa ng board exams.”

posting my picture in my blog and friendster was okay. but being in a marketing ad to be posted in the “real” world was a bit too much for me. parang di yata kaya ng powers ko yun hehe. but with much persuasion from the staff and the lecturers, pumayag na rin ako. pero sa isang kundisyon… mangdadamay… este, magsasama ako ng mga classmates ko.

hence, 4 of us will be included in the photo op on monday along with a few more center-based reviewees. okay na yun na marami kesa naman mukha ko lang ang nandun… pag ganun baka maningil na ako ng talent fee hehe.

i hope that this is a sign that i will soon become an RN

extra joss and cobra drink

i’m a big fan of extra joss.

it started way back when i was still playing competitive badminton. although, i’m not into any type of recreation right now, my thing for extra joss continued.

all throughout my nursing studies, i would always have a cold preparation ready especially when i have exams. aside from the boost of energy, i really love the taste.

recently, i was introduced by a classmate to cobra energy drink. it was during our review class break and she was drinking this yellow-orange stuff. the fruity scent was overwhelming.

out of curiousity, i tried one. it was much sweeter than extra joss and the energy kick was also higher. i was wide awake during our 14 hours of review. when i got back to the condo, i wasn’t hungry nor sleepy. i just had an apple and was not very tired.

i know that energy drinks are not really good if taken too frequently. sabi nga, everything in moderation dapat. but nowadays, the extra energy boost is a precious luxury for me.

some experience palpitations and being jittery. as for me, it made me stay up longer and not very hungry at all.

i don’t advice people to get hooked on these things. but when the need arises, it’s very much available.

a friend commented, dapat daw hindi cobra drink ang tawag… the most appropriate term daw is “anaconda”

3 dozen roses

happy 54th birthday mom!

you’re the best…
